Week 1 & 2

Good understanding of vector algebra and vector calculus is essential in this course. In these two weeks, please take some time to review and understand Chapter 2 of the textbook, especially on gradient, divergence, curl and their related theorems. This review will be very helpful throughout the course.

We will go through examples to further illustrate these abstract concepts at the discussions sessions. This .pdf file is a brief summary on vector algebra and vector calculus, which serves as an outline of our discussions.
